Re: Cake PHP 1.2 - Need Help For Posting Mulitple Checkboxes

I maintain one hack in my core (used to be a few more during 1.2 pre-
release) and it is enough to worry about forgetting even though it is
only two lines. Pulling the core with Git has helped tremendously,
though. All fast-forwards so far.

If you need to make a "hack" in the core you will save yourself a lot
of trouble if you use Git.
